Obituary-Addie Monfeith.

Died at Werley, Wis. Monday, May
16, 1887, of brain fever, Miss Addie
Monteith, aged II years, 6 months and
z days. Although she had not been
feeling well for some time, she was only
confined to her bed about one week
previous to her death. But during her
entire illness she was scarce ever heard
to murmur or complain, and was al
ways thoughtful and kind to those who
watched over her. During the hours of
consciousness she tried at all times to
give as little trouble as possible. AL
though called away while still in the
morning of life she was highly esteemed
and loved bYall who knew her. Wherever
she went and in whatever occupation
she was engaged her goodness and kind
ness was with her. In her short stay
among us she made many, many friends
to whom the thought will readily occur
how true, Death loves shining mark.
She was laid to rest beside her father in
the beautiful cemetery at the White
school house near Fennimore. The
bereaved mother. brothers and sisters
have the heartfelt sympathy of all.

Eighth annual reunion of the South
western Wisconsin Veteran Association

Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-04-07

WE have received notice from two
wholesale houses with which we deal
that they cannot sell their goods at
old rates after the 4th Of April, on ac-
count of tho increased rate of freights
to be charged by the overland rail-
roads consequent upon the Interstate
Commerce law. Circulars OF this
character are reaching retailers all
over the State from Los Angeles and
San Fra ncisco wholesale merchants.
We shall soon see how this measure
is going to operate. If it prove OPP
pressive to the business of the coun-
try it will be speedily repealed. That
is the way it looks to us now; but We
shall have to wait till we see just how
much difference the new tariffs will
make in the cost of goods over the
old ones. The public are assured OF
two rem edies. One is that if it costs
so much more to get merchandise
from the East to competitive points
than it did before as to make it ex-
tremely onerous, the great bulk of
goods imported will come by sea.
This will ,carry with it the other rem
edy, and compel the railroads
to give us the benefit OF the
advantages of our competitive situa-
ton. But we have already discussed
this feature of the problem as far as
We are justified at present. On the
other hand, we desire to call the atten-
ton OF our readers to Senator Fairs
favorable comments upon the law in
an interview with reporter in San
Franc isco. He declares that the great
cross-country railroads are de-
termined to render the law obnoxious
to the people by raising the rates to
an un njustifiable extent at the great
terminal points. If this be true, it
will open another and very significant
phase of the problem.

az possible. There is no doubt that they
don't like it. Yet if you would believe
the railroad men it is the public that is
going to be robbed by its practical work
ings. If that is true it seems rather
paradoxical that the railway corpora
lions should manifest so much concern
for the general public. 1t is generally
thought by most people that they look
out for number one with the greatest OF
care. We cannot altogether condemn
them for that reason, though. Ii the
law is going to rob the public why evi-
IDENTIFY it is going to benefit the roads.
Why so much anxiety on their part
then. Because it is not true. The
Interstate law will prevent railroad
from charging $500 for carload OF
goods from New York to Sacramento
and $3.50 for the same carload to Elko,
Nevada. 1t is just this kind OF out,
rageous discrimination that matured
public opinion on the subject OF reguial-
ing Interstate commerce.
'In my opinion the law Is not tine.
tured in the least with the influence OF
the railway corporations. 1t is the re-
suit of the most profound and painstak'
inc work, To really understand the law
a person should carefully read the evi'
dence given before the Senate Commits
sion, of which Senator Cullum OF Illinois
was chairman. During the simmer OF
1885. and at other times, many practica
railroad men and men of wide experience
in the transportation of freight, gave
unqualified testimony of the great abuses
of railway discrimination in all IFS vari'
ons phases. That laid the foundation
for the law. In the Senate debates OF
the subject there was no desire to make
raid on the great railroad corporations
1 think they deserve to be protected liKe
ANYBODY else. But then they must pe
controlled where the interests OF large
number of communities are encroacheo
upon. .u;,
"The overland roads are forming theil
new tariffs in such a way as to make
their rates to Chicago and New York
very high. But then are they startingly
in excess of what they were before the
low rate war? Competition will settle
the question of high rates. Railroads
wont be financially bankrupted II their
local Interstate T6tCS ohS
struggle for business will bring tina,
about. and when it is done the law will
compel them to reduce their through
tariffs. The law may apparently work
for while against the interests Of sucf
an extreme terminal point as San Fran
cisco, but give the law chance and
think there will be favorable adjust
ment all around. -,
eyes, 1 think the law will control tn
through shipments of the Pacific Ma!
Company from New York here. Bnsi
ness of that nature IS surely lntersta' e
and why should it not apply to ina
company as we'll as to the railroads! 1
will also apply to the Morgan line o
steamers running from New Orleans t.
New York.
"The only defect in the law, in m!
opinion, is that there should have peer
nine commissioners instead OF five.

.sHOw NOT TO DO IT" seems to be the
policy OF the City Council with refer
ence to the erection of the city hall.
A progressive people voted the bonds
for this purpose; shrewed capitalists
bought these same, and the money
for the purpose lies somewhere
useless so far as tho public good goes.
Is it.doing any good in any way to
any private interest? Then, the
''city hole" has been sold-so it is re-
ported-and paltry $1,000 is put up
by the purchaser, on which bagatelle
the property, worth 100000, has
been held for many months. Then,
what isl the, matter with the report
made to the Council as to the title =?
That report states that the legal title
in perfect form was vested in the city,
which said city made the contract to
sell the property to Mr.. John Bryson,
Sr., at $1,000 per foot frontage but
that after the making of the contract
there is some difficulty as to where
the title is vested. The title vested
in the city when the contract
was made, and is 80 vested still,
subject to that contract. The
holder of that contract should be
made to 90 on and comply with the
terms thereof, or his $1,000 should be
forfeited, and the property set UP for
sale again. Doubtless were some
third party to come along and offer
Mr.. Bryson an advance of, say, $3.50
a foot, such an event would lead to
business all around; but it is not the
essence of popular government to
give any individual so large an ad-
vantage at the expense of the people.
The holder OF this contract is perhaps
not the only person in the city who
would be pleased to bond the historic
s'hole" at the risk of 81 900. That is
. small gamble to 60 into for SO great
. stake. 1t is just possible that
when time is called there may be
. little clean up Of $4,000 profit on
the deal. II New York's "Bo9dlers"
were at the helm, all that jack pot
might not go solely into the hands of
one man. There might be division
called for. How does this matter of
the city hall and Of the city ''hole'
s1and, anyway2

Our attention has been called to a
letter from Marshalltown, Iowa, la
dy, who is sojourning here, published
in her home paper, the Electric Light.
The lady intersperses a number OF
good things about Los Angeles with
criticisms that are simply ridiculous
when considered in the electric light
of facts. She says this is no place
for a poor man, when our streets are
lined with men who came here with
nothing and are now rich. There
certainly can be no lack of employ
ment in city in which at least eight
cen hundred new houses, of all
classes, are being built every year,
and in which all the multifarious in
dustries of a rapidly growing city are
thriving amazingly. She objects to
buying water and having the land
thrown in. Well, this is the case,
after fashion. But the lady ought
to remember that this is an irrigating
cou ntry, and that land without water
could not be depended on for crops
every year. She says our soil is
ad ODE, and needs care and money to
make it productive. "In course it
do" Isn't that the case everywhere :?
But the lady draws wide bow when
she conveys the idea that all our land
is adobe. 1t is the rare exception.
The lady's letter shows her to be of a
fretful and variable disposition. 1t
is either too hot or too cold for
her; too dry or too wet. Well
we shall not take her to task for this,
because she doubtless writes as she
feels; but how any one who could
stand the billiards. and1the below
nothingness of the thermometer in
Iowa could complain of tAe cold in
Los Angeles surpasses onr compre-
hensiop. Let us give her the benefit
of Scott's verse, and bid her look out
upon the sunshine of this beautiful
day, admire nature in its rarest garb
of loveliness, listen to the glad lin
nets song and the mocking-bird's
liquid notes, peer into the clear ceru-
lean of heaven, and bless herself that
she is not shivering in the twenty de-
prees below zero of her beloved Mar
shalltown.

ty is as dear, absolutely in Los Angeles
"a it is in San Francisco. tits patent
to those who are at all acquainted
with the facts that this is gross
error. A business man from the Bay
City. now sojourning in Los Angeles,
Yesterday received a letter from some
Of b;s business associates in which
the statement was made that 81 feet
ON Market street, nearly opposite the
Baldwin Hotel, and Immediately
east of the old church property once
owned by the Jesuit Fathers. had
changed hands at the fabulous price
Of $265 900, or nearly $4.50o per front
foot. The Chronicle some weeks
back published an exhaustive article
comparing values for realty in that
city with those of many others in the
country. In that paper the state
ment was made that San Francisco
property did not range above
SO, 900 per foot frontage. But here
is rise of just fifty per cent. above
that figure. 1t waSalso set forth by
the writer of that article that our
property here was held as dear as
their figure. 1t matters little at what
property may be held by those who
are not in the market as sellers. The
test is what sellers can get for what
they may offer; and as a matter Of
cold fact, there have been no trans
fers made here at over $1,000 per foot
front for unimproved real estate. The
Market street lot referred to above is
unimproved. There is property here
which would no doubt bring higher
price if placed on the market, but the
fact is it has not done SO yet.

DoUBT1Na THoMAsEs are puzzled
at the great scramble being made to
secure lots in the new towns and
acreage property adjacent thereto
along the foothills of the San Gabriel
valley. 1t is to be borne in mind
that the strip of land lying on the up
per plateau, close to the mountains,
from the sea to the San Gorgonio
pass is, all told, not large area. 1t
is also to be remembered that for eli
mate, fertility, water supply and
scenery, its equal is not to be found
in the whole course OF the day as the
sun circles the good, green earth.
These attractions will cause a verita-
BILE semftropic paradise to bloom
all along these rarely-gifted lands.
The whole country along that strip
will be dotted in a few years with the
cosiest homes, and crowned with the
most elegant and beautiful residences
in the world. Five years hence the
sun in his diurnal course will look
down upon no such other scene as
this will present. There is not in
the area outlined a tithe of the
room which will be demanded for
homes for the invalids, the wealthy,
the elegantly refined people who
will thsong in there to enjoy the balmy
air, the perfect temperature, the en-
powered paradise OF flowers and
vines, the wealth of fruit, the loveli-
ness of scene which will attract and
enchant all beholders. Make no
mistake about 1.-THE buyer of these
lots and plots are not the fools OF the
present nor of the future.
